Xi Dai is the Appraisily page label for the Chinese painter more commonly normalized as Dai Xi in Wikidata and English-language reference material. Authority data gives his life years as 1801–1860. A secondary biography places him in the nineteenth century, associates him with an academic manner, and records the literary names Chunshi and Yu'an. These alternate forms matter because historical works and modern catalogues may reverse the name order, use different Romanizations, or identify the artist through a sobriquet or pen name. Collectors may consequently encounter apparently different attributions that require careful identity matching. The present source pack establishes the artist's basic identity and profession but does not provide enough museum or catalogue detail to characterize particular techniques, subjects, schools, or named series confidently. This page should therefore function as an identity-matched market index while keeping narrower art-historical classifications provisional.

Academic mannerPainting

Common works and media

The available identity sources describe Xi Dai, more commonly ordered as Dai Xi, as a Chinese painter. Paintings are therefore the only supported broad work category in this source pack. It does not provide sufficient evidence to specify recurring subjects, materials, supports, named series, prints, editions, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, or posters. Such labels should be added only after museum, catalogue, or auction-lot evidence is reviewed.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by confirming whether an attribution to Xi Dai refers to the painter identified elsewhere as Dai Xi or 戴熙 and whether the proposed date fits his documented 1801–1860 lifespan. The collected sources support painting as the broad work type but do not establish artist-specific rules for technique, support, format, provenance, or condition. Those characteristics must be assessed from the individual object and its documentation. Where public auction records are available, relevant comparisons should match the work type and attribution level and should preserve the sale date, realized price, and lot context. The source pack did not expose enough auction-level detail to support a price trend, typical range, or claim about market scarcity.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Chinese paintings

Value drivers

  1. Secure attribution across the name forms Xi Dai, Dai Xi, and 戴熙
  2. Dating and consistency with the documented 1801–1860 lifespan
  3. Cataloguing in relation to the artist's reported academic manner
  4. Comparison with available public auction records by work type, sale date, realized price, and comparable lot

Appraisal caveats

  • The collected source pack does not describe specific supports, techniques, subjects, formats, condition patterns, provenance standards, or edition practices.
  • The Appraisily auction page was rate-limited during collection, so its underlying lots and realized-price data were not available for record-level analysis.
  • The academic-manner classification appears only in a secondary discovery source and needs confirmation from a museum, scholarly catalogue, or comparable institutional record.
